Chapter 337 Are You Okay?

"thump."

Two voices rang out one after another. Su Nanzhi did not wait for death. When she opened her eyes, she saw the scarred man being knocked to the ground by Gu Xizhou.

Gu Xizhou grabbed the man's legs and dragged him to the ground.

His wound, which had already stopped bleeding, began to bleed again, looking extremely horrible.

After the panic, the scarred man quickly came to his senses and kicked Gu Xizhou in the head.

The gun that was originally pointed at Su Nanzhi immediately turned towards Gu Xizhou.

Su Nanzhi reacted quickly and rushed forward to snatch the gun from the scarred man.

Although the scarred man had injured his eye, it was easy for him to deal with Su Nanzhi, who had an injured hand.

Su Nanzhi looked at Gu Xizhou's pale face and could no longer care about anything else. Under the shocked gaze of the scarred man, a machete suddenly appeared in her empty right hand, and she stabbed it into his heart.

“You…how…”

The scarred man wanted to say something, but his eyes gradually lost their luster, and he finally fell heavily to the ground.

Su Nanzhi, with blood all over her head, stumbled to Gu Xizhou's side. Her fingers trembled as she probed for his breath, but she could only feel Gu Xizhou's weak breathing.

But when she saw Gu Xizhou's pale face and his shirt that was completely soaked in blood and turned red, her heart tightened again.

"Hold on... please..." Su Nanzhi covered Gu Xizhou's wound with her right hand. Blood flowed from the wound on her arm and dripped down her arm onto Gu Xizhou's face.

But she didn't care about these things. She quickly took out the first aid kit from the space with her other hand and wanted to bandage Gu Xizhou's wound again in the same way as before.

When the people from the organization arrived, they saw Su Nanzhi kneeling on the ground, covered in blood, holding the unconscious Gu Xizhou in her arms.

In contrast to the blood, Su Nanzhi and Gu Xizhou's faces were frighteningly pale.

Hearing footsteps in the distance, Su Nanzhi slowly turned her head. After seeing the figure, she seemed to have lost all her strength and collapsed to the ground, but she still held Gu Xizhou's wound tightly with her hand.

"Save...save him..." Her voice was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible, and blood oozed from her cracked lips. "Please..."

After saying this, Su Nanzhi closed her eyes and fainted completely.

***

When Su Nanzhi opened her eyes again, all she saw was a vast expanse of white.

"Comrade Su, you're awake."

Ge Shengnan, who was standing by, immediately exclaimed in surprise. She stood up and wanted to call a doctor, but was stopped by Su Nanzhi.

"Comrade Ge, where is Gu Xizhou?"

Su Nanzhi struggled to stand up, but accidentally touched the wound, making her already pale face even paler.

Ge Shengnan quickly held her shoulders and said, "Don't move! Your wound will split!" She hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Captain Gu is still in the operating room..."

Su Nanzhi's fingers clenched the bed sheet tightly, her knuckles turning white. "Take me to see him."

"This won't work. The doctor said you—"

"Take me there." Su Nanzhi raised her head and grabbed Ge Shengnan's hands with both hands, her eyes full of pleading, "I beg you"

Ge Shengnan gritted her teeth and said, "I'll go borrow a wheelchair..."

Ten minutes later, the wheelchair rolled across the tiled floor of the hospital corridor. Before Su Nanzhi was pushed into the operating room, she saw the doctor and the senior leader standing at the door with grim expressions.

"Leader, we tried our best. The patient already had an old injury. The bullet missed his spleen and lungs by a few centimeters. Besides that, he also has various degrees of trauma all over his body..."

Su Nanzhi's entire body froze instantly, and the whole world seemed to freeze in that moment. She stared intently at the glaring bloodstain on the doctor's surgical gown, her ears buzzing.

"Impossible..." Her voice was as light as a feather, her fingers gripping the wheelchair armrests tightly. "He was still breathing just now... How could he die after entering the hospital?"

Ge Shengnan, her eyes red, held her hand: "Comrade Su, Captain Gu..."

"Get out of the way!" Su Nanzhi stood up from the wheelchair and staggered towards the door of the operating room. "Gu Xizhou won't die like this."

Seeing this, everyone at the door of the operating room immediately stepped forward to stop them, but was pushed away by Su Nanzhi.

As she moved, the wound on her arm made Su Nanzhi's face even paler, but she also calmed down a little.

"Doctor, I want to go into the operating room."

Su Nanzhi turned to look at the doctor and, without waiting for the doctor to object, continued, "Don't some dying people have a strong desire to live just because their loved ones talk to them?"

The doctor wanted to refuse, "This situation does exist, but it's rare..."

However, he was stopped by a senior leader just as he was halfway through his words.

"Let Comrade Su in."

The doctor glanced at his leader and finally nodded helplessly.

After disinfection, Su Nanzhi immediately entered the operating room.

Su Nanzhi walked to the operating table trembling. Gu Xizhou's face was terribly pale, and the curve on the electrocardiogram monitor was so weak that it almost became a straight line.

The doctor and nurse had stepped aside and shook their heads slightly at her.

"Gu Xizhou..." she called softly, her fingers gently caressing his cold cheek, "Didn't you say you would marry me?"

The only sound in the operating room was the cold ticking of instruments.

Su Nanzhi's tears fell on Gu Xizhou's face: "You don't keep your word."

She leaned over and whispered in his ear, "If you dare to die, I will just marry someone tomorrow."

The lines on the monitor were still faint.

The nurse beside her turned away with red eyes.

The doctor sighed and was about to go forward to persuade her when he saw Su Nanzhi suddenly take out an antique little porcelain bottle from his pocket.

She poured out a black pill from the porcelain bottle, and before the doctor could react, she stuffed the pill into Gu Xizhou's mouth with trembling hands.

"Comrade Su, how could you give Comrade Gu food without authorization?"

The doctor's face turned pale and he stepped forward to pick Gu Xizhou's mouth.

But the pill melted in my mouth and I couldn't get it out at all.

Su Nanzhi held Gu Xizhou's hand tightly, her eyes fixed on the electrocardiogram monitor.

This medicine was given to her by Mr. Xu when she left the army, saying that it could save her life.

She never thought that this medicine would be used on Gu Xizhou.

But at this moment, this medicine became her last hope.

Ten seconds... Twenty seconds...

Just when Su Nanzhi was about to despair, Gu Xizhou's fingertips suddenly moved. Then, the curve on the electrocardiogram monitor began to become stronger.

"Blood pressure is rising!"

"Blood oxygen saturation is rising!"

The medical staff immediately became busy.

The strength that Su Nanzhi had just held on to disappeared in an instant. Her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground. In the end, she was helped to the side by the nurse.

"He...will be okay."

Su Nanzhi asked in a hoarse voice, but her eyes never left Gu Xizhou on the operating table.

The doctor took off his mask and breathed a sigh of relief: "All indicators are improving, it's simply..." He glanced at the empty porcelain bottle in Su Nanzhi's hand, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Su Nanzhi's tense spine finally collapsed, and like a puppet with its strings cut, she slid softly to the ground.

The last image that froze in her vision was the green curve on Gu Xizhou's monitor that was jumping again, and the glaring red blood dripping from her own wrist.
